    Summary

    When Calliope is cast into the pit—branded a sorceress, hunted, and utterly alone—her only hope of survival lies in a desperate bargain.

    Sylus waits in chains. A creature of ruin. A prophecy made flesh. The end of all Philos.

    She offers her soul. He offers revenge. A dangerous pact, sealed in the dark.

    But the longer they remain hidden in his mountaintop den, the more the lines between them begin to blur. Calliope mourns the life that was stolen from her. Sylus wakes to a world that remembers only the monster. Two exiles, adrift—bound by vengeance, tethered by the growing ache of affection neither can deny.

    ------
    Or dragon Sylus and a down on her luck apothecary, now accused sorcerer, begin to genuinely like being together. Indulgent "What if they had more time" fic.
